Chapter 3998: Challenge of Intelligence III
The speed of the platform had increased.
The pattern remained the same, but the speed had increased.
This means, now the people attempting the challenge will have to react fast or fall down.
It will also make balancing difficult. Landing on fast objects is much harder.
I looked at it, and the platform replicated in my mind. Their speed and also their paths. It's why I jumped a second and a half later and right after I did, the platform began to fall down hard.
I jumped and moved across the platform. Going toward the clouds in the sky fast.
I need to move fast to respond to the speed of the platform. If I maintained my earlier speed. It would make me fall down within seconds.
Soon, I reached the fourth cloud layer and went above it. There was no change in the speed of the platform, and I kept moving, crossing the fifth cloud layer a few minutes later.
As I went higher, there were fewer and fewer people. It is not easy to keep moving.
Even if one knows the pattern, they will have predicted the movements and react fast or they will find themselves falling down.
Hun!
Soon, I breached through the sixth layer. When I saw the speed of platforms increasing again. "So, it is every three cloud layers," I muttered to myself, and I started to move faster, keeping my breathing even.
Controlling the strength is important. I do not have the strength to crush the mountains.
Here, I am quite weak and would get weaker. If I didn't use the strength properly.
It's way, my every movement is precise, and I would always have predicted ten next platforms. I need to step on, which makes me faster, but also saves me a lot of energy.
Soon, I crossed the seventh cloud, and after that, it was the eighth cloud before moving toward the ninth cloud.
There are very few people here, but nearly all of those are the ten finishers of challenges.
I even saw the girl of lower five rank and Fox Beastman. I didn't see the girl who came second in the last challenge or the mustache man.
"Hey!"
Fox Beastman called out and I waved back.
I remained careful of every one of them, especially when they landed on the same platform as
me.
Thud!
I fell for over three meters down, before landing on the platform and jumping out of it a second later.
A surprise flashed in the eyes of people who looked.
It's not difficult. If you had a complete map of platforms in mind and knew where, they would
be at night.
Another person fell down and then another. They were not lucky, not lucky to find the
platform and went down.
Soon, I pierced through the eleventh cloud and saw a completely different scene. First, there was no cloud, and second. I saw the destination, the end of the tower.
However, when I looked at platforms, I got scared.
The platforms had gotten even smaller and changed the color again.
This time, they are red.
They were moving erratically, in a completely different pattern than before.
I noticed another thing that shocked me the most. People seemed to have control over those
platforms.
They are using to hit each other and try to kick each other while trying to move at the top, while others are stopped.
It is a complete shits-show, and the thing is the thirteen people are all who had been in the
top ten in at least one challenge, including the mustache man and the girl who came second in the last challenge.
I had not seen them till now, but it seemed like, they had been here.
Hun!
Seeing my platform go down, I jumped on the red platform. Immediately, a memory came
into my mind.
Giving me a list of rules and limitations. Which the creator had completely changed for this
last leg.
